Sorry, this is not a bug and definitely not a Gentoo specific one. Seek help in the forums, not in Gentoo bugzilla. I suggest this bug is _not_ invalid and should be re-opened for the following reasons: 1) I have researched this for many hours in the forums. There are easily 15 or more threads where this problem is discussed and there has been no conclusive solution discovered. The number of people impacted by this problem is at least as large as the number of threads, and probably many times that. 2) The problem occurs with every media player tested, and from my research of the forums, many different drives. This suggests that the problem is related to drivers for the chipsets or the ide subsystem, i.e. kernel/driver related. 3) I am using gentoo-sources which is most certainly gentoo-specific. 4) It is hard to imagine how this could _not_ be considered a bug unless one were to argue it is normal behavior for the disk driver to report seek errors and fail to correctly read DVDs or for high-performance laptops to be unable to rip at even 1.0x speeds. Especially when neither problem occurs with another OS running on the same system. In summary, I think this problem _is_ a bug for any reasonable definition of the term, and that it involves gentoo-specific software, and thus it qualifies to be treated as such in the bug-tracker. I created a forum thread to consolidate and track this problem. Maybe the community can come up with something. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-377456.html (In reply to comment #4) The former error means that libdvdcss is unable to decrypt your CSS-protected DVD for whatever reason. Is the region set correctly for the DVD you are trying to play? The other one suggests cable/hardware problems (also seeing that your music ripping runs at 1x does not really assure me that your drive is in a sane state). I have the same problem here with two machines. I also get these errors and dmesg says: hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } This isn't a hardware problem, it's software related. I suggest to reopen the bug! |
